WAYDTGKU: drinking all the tea, will start temping next week and OPKs next weekend
R/R/CS: Question for the tea-drinkers: does anyone else get cramps (not bad but just enough to be annoying) when drinking the raspberry leaf tea? This is my first cycle trying it, and I feel like it's making me crampy, but it could entirely be my endo, too. I'm just trying to rule out anything else.
GTKY: French toast with all the syrup and powdered sugary goodness on top.
Me: 26, H: 28
Married since 2012
TTC #1 since July 2015 **TW**
Laparoscopy and Endometriosis dx February 2016
HSG and SA all clear! September 2016 Testing with RE October 2016 BFP 11/5/2016 ~ EDD 7/19/2016
R/R/CS: Woke up to a nice nice nice temp drop this morning. Historically for me, that means something is going to happen. And also if I O late, it is usually CD 27ish. IRL circa present time, it could mean nothing and is just a low temp. None the less as I was getting ready for work H asked what the temp was like so I told him to get some rest cause we are going to give it our all tonight.
I did an amazing job packing breakfast, lunch and snacks for today. I feel quite proud of it.
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) I love some Five Guys, bacon cheeseburger with mayo and mushrooms. But here lately I have been favoring BUrger 21's shrimp burger and a Key Lime shake. YYUUUMMMMM. My ultimate splurge is the bad boy right here.
The Rain forest Cafe Volcano. Molten Lava cake and vanilla ice cream center, surrounded by brownie walls topped with more ice cream, whipped cream and caramel drizzle.
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) Cheese in any form. Shredded, cubed, blocks, melted, cream cheese, cheeseburger, cheesecake, grilled cheese...
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
WAYDTGKU: So over it this month. Not doing anything but temping and waiting at this point.
R/R/CS: I HATE bathing suit shopping. UGH!!!!! I need/want a new suit that's flattering and fun but not inappropriate (will mostly need it for DD's swim lessons and a work party where DD will want to go in the pool, but I mean, my boss will be there). Anyone have suggestions for not too revealing but still young-looking suits?
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) Lobster mac and cheese, or soft shell crab.... mmmmmmmmmmm!
WAYDTGKU: acupuncture, all the teas, pnv, wishing and hoping and waiting
R/R/CS: my schedule picks up this week and I can't even imagine how I will have sexy time. H doesn't initiate and I don't know that I have it in me. Until after FW and I'm pissed we didn't make an effort
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources)
Well since I've cut it out cheese. Or crab legs. Mmmmmmm I love crab legs.
WAYDTGKU: Started temping this cycle! Also, EPO to help with my CM. PNV and BD, obviously.
R/R/CS: I start vacation on Friday, which means this week is awful at work...
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) Chicken Parm! Also, cheesecake factory cheesecakes - all of them.
WAYDTGKU: All the things plus acupuncture. Clomid/IUI this cycle (well, maybe)
R/R/CS: I got an awfully close to positive OPK yesterday and a temp drop today, so I'm feeling fairly certain that I ovulated early, likely meaning this cycle is a bust. I was singing the praises of my doctor's office the other day and of course, they didn't call me back yesterday...so who knows. Whatever. We did what we could. I'm just over it.
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) Pizza. Always pizza.
@pretzel2plus1 Is there a particular brand of tea you drink? I've never had raspberry tea, but sometimes if the tea has higher caffeine in it it'll upset my system.
@GrabberBlue2010 OMG that thing looks delicious!! I'm a chocolate fiend.
@NYTino24 Cheese lovers unite! My body doesn't care much for it though
@Squiddly Not sure of your body shape, but I bought a super cute suit at Torrid this year. They're for curvy women, so if that's not you, I also really like athleta.
Cycle/Month: 4/4
CD: 3
WAYDTGKU: Charting, Temping, OPKs this month, Horizontal mambo
R/R/CS: I have a very old car - 99 Oldsmobile. When my grandma died, my uncles gave it to me (1.5 yrs ago). She only drove it to church and back so it's only got like 65k miles on it. It's practically new. BUT the a/c went out and in the Texas heat, that is no bueno. Found out it costs like 1200 to replace! Ouch. I really planned on having this car a few more years so we're gonna replace it, but my wallet will be weeping.
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) Since I started whole30, so many splurge meals come to mind lol! I think right now I'd settle for a margarita, some enchiladas, chips + queso, and ice cream for dessert
R/R/CS: Today is my 13th wedding anniversary! Unfortunately DH is out of town on business through tomorrow night. In other news, I go for my baseline ultrasound this morning, so hopefully everything looks good to start clomid on cd 5.
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) I can't think of a splurge meal....I've been trying really hard to eat well and lose the weight I gained since July. I do love the queso at Chili's!
@AndiPandi127 O snuck up on me this cycle, too (CD11) but we made the most of it! Do you have any in yet? Even if it's today/tomorrow, could you still get O, +1, +2 or -1, O, +1 etc? O can happen really 12-72 hours after a positive OPK, so why do you think it's automatically a bust?
@Daisy621 Happy Anniversary!! I know you and your DH will celebrate when he gets back... ;) GL at your u/s today, too. Fx for good news and a great start to this brand new cycle. Think, this time next month you could be ku! :D.
WAYDTGKU: Waiting AF out by researching new BBTs and buying wondfo OPKs to accompany my CBAD. This portion of the cycle can get real expensive real quick.
R/R/CS: AF was pretty hellacious last cycle so I was expecting more of the same but she's been kind so far. I mean, that's like saying a lion is a housecat...
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) Olive Garden Fettucine Alfredo with additional Alfredo for dipping the breadsticks followed by a slice of Cheesecake Factory cheesecake! This meal just went on my bucket list.
@pretzel2plus1 I never experienced cramping when I was drinking RRL. I only drank one cup a day though, right before lunch, so if I did I probably mistook them for hunger pains.
@NYTino24@hezzer78 I also love cheese. Like realllly reallly love cheese lol.
@Daisy621 Happy Anniversary! Hope all goes well at your appointment!
Cycle/Month: 9/6
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: PNV, Vitamin D, Letrzole 7.5mg, Trigger Shot, IUI, probably Estrogen and definitely progesterone after IUI
R/R/CS: So the follicle on my baseline scan yesterday DID end up being a follicle and not a cyst. So that was great news. Today is DH's birthday, and I'm an ass and totally forgot for the first two hours of the day. I felt like a horrible wife! But when I called him to wish him a HB, he laughed and said he forgot it was his birthday too. Which is totally plausible. So that's good LOL. He did tell me yesterday though that a coworker of his asked if he had "knocked up your wife yet". When DH replied No, his coworker asked what he was waiting for and kind of gave him a hard time. This guy obviously doesn't know we're experiencing infertility and going through treatment, but it still rubbed DH the wrong way. I could tell he was kind of upset about it, but he just brushed it off. Mean while I want to hunt said coworker down and hurt him.
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) The greasiest cheeseburger with bacon and bbq sauce and onion straws. With a side of cheese fries topped with bacon and a side of ranch. Now I'm hungry and my nonfat greek yogurt just doesn't look appealing anymore LOL.
@mrsdaddario thank you! And so glad your appointment went well ~ great news on the follicle! And now I could go for that cheeseburger you mentioned too.
Daisy621 good luck at your ultrasound today! and happy anniversary!
Cycle/Month: 6/8
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: Metformin, Clomid + Ovidrel, HIO
R/R/CS: So, I went to my RE yesterday to measure my follicles. I've got 2, primed and ready to go, one on the left and one on the right. I triggered last night, per RE's orders. (I was surprised; I thought I'd have to wait another day or two.) So, I SHOULD O sometime today or tomorrow. ALTHOUGH, last cycle, my AF showed up 5 days late, which makes me think that I had a delayed reaction to the shot. I might use OPK's this time around, and see if I can catch the surge. ***QUESTION**** Does this trigger shot mess with OPK's at all? Anyway, I'm not quite sure when I'll move over to the TWW yet, because I'm not convinced I'll actually O 24 to 48 hours after the shot. We'll see. I'm just glad we're moving forward. This is our last cycle HIO, before we move onto IUI.
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) oOOo I love me a Five Guys Little Cheeseburger! And their fries! So tasty. Just thinking about it makes me hungry!
CD: 69 (insert inappropriate thoughts and gestures)
WAYDTGKU: Still being happy from a good RE appt and a plan!
R/R/CS: I turned my prescription for provera in on base yesterday so we'll see how quickly this gets filled. DH is in the field all week so I can't talk to him until Thursday night to tell him the plan but he'll be happy that I'm happy haha
GTKY: Oh a whole splurge meal?? Probably a full surf and turf meal! With dessert. I try to avoid dessert usually so a large piece of chocolate cake would be wonderful!
@sammajane19 As far as I know, the OPK's can turn positive after the trigger. They can almost act as a pregnancy test because (as the nurse put it to me) hcg can sometimes mimic LH. And therefore the trigger can turn the OPK positive when it really might not be. In a moment of weakness on 5dpt I peed on an OPK because I had an itch to POAS, and it was blazingly positive. I think it would be an interesting experiment though to test it out for a few days and watch what it does.
@pretzel2plus1 I've been drinking the RRL tea for about a week now and haven't noticed any cramping. It's very possible that it's affecting you differently though? I hope it passes for you!
@GrabberBlue2010 Every single food you mentioned sounded amazing. I want all of the food. Good job packing lunch and snacks for the day though!
@Squiddly do you prefer 2 pieces or 1 pieces? for 2 piece suits, what about the ones they have now that have like that ruffle that comes down a little bit in the front? They're pretty cute and appear to have a little bit more coverage. Bosses and bathing suits can be tricky.
@hezzer78 Sorry about the car a/c! That really sucks. My H and I lived in Dallas for a few years and the heat is no joke!
@Daisy621 Happy anniversary!! Also, i haven't been on or able to comment for a few days, but sorry about CD 1
@mrsdaddario yay for a growing follicle!!! Also happy birthday to your DH! Sorry about the annoying coworker. I'm fully expecting to hear it from everyone in my office in a few months when my coworkers wife has their baby. It will be baby #3 in the office just in the last year. I'm pretty much the only one left and everyone knows it
Cycle/Month: 3/3 TTCAL
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: PNV, temping, tracking cm, RRL tea, HIO in the next week or so
R/R/CS: Is it bad that I'm annoyed that I'm busy at work again? lol I got into such a habit of things being slow that now i'm just not used to having things to do! O-well.
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) Meal? Filet and a baked potato. But honestly, just give me a bag of chocolate and permission to eat the entire thing and I'm a happy camper.

@AndiPandi127 O snuck up on me this cycle, too (CD11) but we made the most of it! Do you have any in yet? Even if it's today/tomorrow, could you still get O, +1, +2 or -1, O, +1 etc? O can happen really 12-72 hours after a positive OPK, so why do you think it's automatically a bust?
Historically, I have always ovulated the day after a positive OPK, which would be today (and the temp drop I had today is also pretty normal for me at O) - we did get some timing in, but MH is out of town now so we are done for this month. It's all good. We are trying to stay calm, we're going on vacation next week, and we'll be enjoying the heck out of it!
WAYDTGKU: pnvs for now, bbt starts back up tomorrow
R/R/CS: DH is out of town, mom is visiting this week, and I have not told her about the hsg on Thursday. So that will be a fun conversation. "Hey, we're trying to have a baby. Which means yes, we have sex, and my tubes may be blocked or littered with tube debris. And now they're going to flush them so my tubes become like a slip and slide for the sperm, you know the ones whisker regularly ejaculates inside of me, so they can get to the egg. Good times."
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal? (Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) When you said splurge I totally thought you meant $$$$. So I was thinking really good sushi or The Melting Pot (I know it's a chain but fondue is soooooo goooooooood). For decadence I guess maple long johns with cream filling from the local doughnut shop. They're like, 75 cents and 1200 calories. Ooh, or Cinnabon!

@Squiddly - Totally wish I had something helpful to say with the bathing suit shopping. I avoid it like the plague. And lobster mac n cheese. Holy smokes Batman YAS!! @RunBooRun - Hoping your week by will not drag and it will fly right on by! The week, and day before, vacation sucks so bad. And then ZIP ZING ZOOM vacation is over. @AndiPandi127 - FX that this cycle wont be a bust. Hoping that it will all work out! @hezzer78 - Chocolate is my BFF and worst enemy. I've got a heavenly angelic piece of chocolate on one shoulder whispering sweet nothing in one ear, then a devilish sinfully delicious piece of chocolate whispering delightful concoctions in the other ear. End result? Chocolate for life. FTW. The volcano is always gone before I know what happened. Thankfully my sister helps me with it. And sorry about your car situation that is no fun. @Daisy621 - I am totally trying to be good and for the most part I have done a darned good job. So I figure instead of eating all the things, why not just look at all the things Chili's queso is. da. bomb!
@belocin "Thats like saying a lion is a housecat" LOLOLOL. Well I am glad AF is a bit more tame this month.
@mrsdaddario - So happy to hear it is a follicle and not a cyst! That is great news! Happy bday to you H! People have no idea how to let stuff go and not take ques to how another person reacts. Co-worker should have stopped at "no". I am pretty sure when the time comes, everyone will know and there will be no need to ask. Actually, if there is no news, it should be implied that it has not happened yet. Totes go after him
R/R/CS: I usually don`t use my OPKs til CD 10 or 11 but I woke up and got crosshairs this morning so I took one but it was stark white. What the heck.
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and garlic bread. All the carbs.
@mrsdaddario I'm so happy that the scan showed a follie already! I know your last cycle started with more frustrations so FX this cycle is smooth sailing! Also, my MIL always asks what we're waiting for (she obviously doesn't know that we're having issues) and DH always tells her that every time she asks, we're going to wait longer. And then he tells her that it's her fault we're waiting so long since she keeps asking. It cracks me up watching her get so frustrated. Serves her right haha or maybe I'm a terrible person.
WAYDTGKU: HIO (which DH now refers to as HIIIYOOOOO) ED, BBT CM etc.
R/R/CS: Actually decided not to go to the gym early this morning to get a decent temp because I was up at 4 am. I'm feeling kinda BSC by doing that but whatever. I have been enjoying evening runs lately anyway with it still light out at 8 pm!! Also killed it with meal prep yesterday. @GrabberBlue2010 you know the feeling! Also, love the gifs today.
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) I am going to have to go with @NYTino24@hezzer78@mrsdaddario and say cheeeeese. My all time happy place is a local wine and cheese place. I also love what DH calls "football sunday" which is just apps, beers, sweatpants and tv during football season.
R/R/CS: I'm a train wreck this morning. I live right by I-95 and I had the pleasure of suffering through construction on the highway until about 2am. The noise was bearable, but the vibrations from whatever drilling they were doing was rattling my house. That lead to shitty, uncomfortable sleep and now my arm is kind of numb. Then I get sprayed by a sprinkler walking into my office....then I dropped my breakfast on the floor. Tuesday is just beating the crap out of me today. Can I get a do-over today??!
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal? Oh man....I can't just pick one!! Spaghetti and meatballs is a classic that I don't allow myself very often. Maybe once or twice a year. And Korean BBQ is my favorite food ever and since it's pretty pricey, it's a splurge. But seriously....

@sammajane19 - Yay for 2 follies!!! FX everything goes well for you. I took a trigger last cycle and the next day I had a blaring positive OPK. I have heard that the HCG will turn an OPK +, and many people have advised not to take them after trigger. I told my RE about it and they seemed like that was a-okay. So still to this day it has been questionable to me. @mokay19 - H's seem to be happy when we are happy. SO that is a good thing! And surf and turf *mouth watering* @jatwal128 - after an unsuccessful weekend of staying on track, and all the craving hitting, I HAD to pack excellent meals for today. And banish my craving through all you guys. LOL. I am emotionally stuffed from all the good sounding food. @whiska - GL with your convo with your mom. That is always a fun one. Hopefully she will be on the same page on not give you the head tilt
Oh and Melting Pot!!!!!!!!! Best of both splurge worlds!!! @Saralee797 - Great job keeping up with your run, and with the meal prep! It is a huge help. Sucks prepping, but take back all my self curses the next day when I feel good eating well. I am totes getting the hang of this gif stuff... Has a monster been created? Yes, probably
Aaannnnddddd now my boss is here, so dedicated bumping is over for the time being. Will be around for love tits and sneakily adding comments as I can.
R/R/CS: I'm fixing to place an Amazon order for some OPKs, and a new thermometer, is there anything else I should order? I haven't charted in over 4 years and I feel like I'm learning all over again. Also I see there are a lot of people drinking tea, is there a certain one that's best?
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) Vanilla Ice Cream on top of warm chocolate cake....... Yummmmm.
WAYDTGKU: Temping, cm/cp, BD ED right now, B6 & PNV's, green tea on the daily, OPK's
R/R/CS: Feeling slightly annoyed. Tried my first OPK Sunday, pretty faint but was expected. Then yesterday it darkened up a lot, like almost positive looking and I was thinking sweet this would line up with a CD 17 O date which is my average-ish. Then today it's even lighter than Sunday... But temp is still low, and I've never O'd this early. Idk, I'm going to keep HIO and assume that the surge has not happened yet because it just seems unlikely to me. I really want good timing so I hope it didn't happen yet! I'm feeling pretty BSC at this point about making everything perfect this cycle, and I'm like I wish I was in the TWW already! But I know I'll be just as crazy over there, so might as well enjoy my time here!
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?
Ooooh gees. So many things. Always mac and cheese, it's just something I would eat any day any time any where. But we have had some excellent date nights at nicer restaurants in the past year when we really want to splurge and it is just such a difference having a real chef compared to a chain restaurant! We went to a nice italian restaurant for Valentine's day this year and holyyyyy crap! I've never tasted food so delicious! I even like H's potatoes and I hate potatoes! Now I'm hungry...
WAYDTGKU: BBT, CBDA OPKs, PNV+DHA, Vitamin D, fish oil, CoQ10, EPO, Fertilitea, green tea, grapefruit juice, fertility foods, baby aspirin, HIO when we're in the same town
R/R/CS: Currently in a two-hour harassment prevention workshop (via Skype). I kind of think that maybe the training is because of me. Not because I did anything wrong but because I mentioned something that a manager who used to work here did that was really piss-poor decision-making that put the company at some amount of risk. Oops. Sorry everybody. (Then again, it's something that companies should be doing if just for the CYA file so...)
GTKY: I'll go with full splurge, including financial, king crab legs. Allll day long. For a more realistic one? Buffalo Wild Wings. It's so bad but it's so good!
Me: 34 DH: 38 Married: June 2011 TTC since Feb 2016 BFP#1: 7/7/16 MMC: 8/16/16 BFP#2: 5/8/17 - CP BFP#3: 6/27/17 EDD: 3/10/18
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) My husband learned to cook from his Sicilian grandma and he makes a lasagna that is seriously out of this world. I haven't asked him to make it for me since he became lactose intolerant (who knew that could happen in your mid twenties without warning??) because that seems so cruel. But seriously, it's the best thing ever. Especially with a nice bold Cabernet...
WAYDTGKU: Peeing on sticks and getting it on ALL WEEK!
R/R/CS: OPK is still light after being really, really dark on CD 9. I knew I shouldn't have started peeing on them yet. I never O that early and I'm sure it was a random occurrence but now I'm all like, WTF IS GOING ON?! We've HIO pretty much every day since AF ended though, so even if I did O we are still in the game. I'm looking forward to temping next month so I know what is happening inside my ovaries.
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) Oh you guys. When I splurge, I SPLURGE. If I could have an evening of eating whatever the heck I wanted, I would probably start with some appetizers and drinks at happy hour, devour my main meal at an Indian buffet, eat my weight in butter garlic naan, chicken pakoras, and chicken tikka masala, and finish my splurge at Coldstone with a Birthday Cake Remix. YOLO.
WAYDTGKU: ovulation tests and bd every other day this week (I think thats the right term, these terms are a lot to remember!)
R/R/CS: My ovia app says that I'm in my fertile window this week so we've been doing the deed every other day (did it last night) and I THINK I got a +opk this morning but it's so hard to tell on these things!!
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) pizza, ice cream, reese cups...anything really.
@Schumerator You may have just had a quick surge and caught the rising or the tail end of it, so tentatively call it a positive. But it could also mean it wasn't strong enough and you didn't O. Watch your temps to see what they do, but HIO!
Cycle/Month: 4/2 (1 TTCAL)
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, extra folic acid, baby aspirin, fish oil, temping, OPKs, CM
R/R/CS: I haven't turned an OPK yet haha I turned one cd10 last time. The CM was creamy almost watery yesterday, but dry so far today. My temps are also alternating between 97.3 and 97.02. It looks very cute on the chart.
I just worked (OUT OF BOLD????) 3 days in a row and I'm exhausted but my dog won't let me sleep in I also should go work out and swim laps after, but I want to lay around and play on my phone since I didn't get to the past 3 days. But, worst of all I have WORK stuff to do here at home! And it's going to take several days to complete and I'm so whiney about it .. I should do that instead of work out for timing reasons .. maybe also mental peace reasons..
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) I make Garlic Pasta - penne, olive oil, minced garlic gloves, red pepper, pine nuts, parsley, and oh. Like the most "6 Italian Shredded Cheese" in the pot ever. I just dump the bag in. So cheesy. And it is DELICIOUS! Not too awesome for my blood sugar, but, I say I have to figure out how to take insulin for it and therefore need to keep making it for science. Also add a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon in and I'm set. Happy wife!

Woke up to a nice nice nice temp drop this morning. Historically for me, that means something is going to happen. And also if I O late, it is usually CD 27ish. IRL circa present time, it could mean nothing and is just a low temp.
None the less as I was getting ready for work H asked what the temp was like so I told him to get some rest cause we are going to give it our all tonight.
I did an amazing job packing breakfast, lunch and snacks for today. I feel quite proud of it.

I love some Five Guys, bacon cheeseburger with mayo and mushrooms. But here lately I have been favoring BUrger 21's shrimp burger and a Key Lime shake. YYUUUMMMMM.
My ultimate splurge is the bad boy right here.
The Rain forest Cafe Volcano. Molten Lava cake and vanilla ice cream center, surrounded by brownie walls topped with more ice cream, whipped cream and caramel drizzle.

R/R/CS: I HATE bathing suit shopping. UGH!!!!! I need/want a new suit that's flattering and fun but not inappropriate (will mostly need it for DD's swim lessons and a work party where DD will want to go in the pool, but I mean, my boss will be there). Anyone have suggestions for not too revealing but still young-looking suits?
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) Lobster mac and cheese, or soft shell crab.... mmmmmmmmmmm!

CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: All the things plus acupuncture. Clomid/IUI this cycle (well, maybe)
R/R/CS: I got an awfully close to positive OPK yesterday and a temp drop today, so I'm feeling fairly certain that I ovulated early, likely meaning this cycle is a bust. I was singing the praises of my doctor's office the other day and of course, they didn't call me back yesterday...so who knows. Whatever. We did what we could. I'm just over it.
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) Pizza. Always pizza.
@GrabberBlue2010 I hope your dip means O - good luck HIO today!
Edit was for grammar.
@GrabberBlue2010 OMG that thing looks delicious!! I'm a chocolate fiend.
@NYTino24 Cheese lovers unite! My body doesn't care much for it though

WAYDTGKU: Charting, Temping, OPKs this month, Horizontal mambo
R/R/CS: I have a very old car - 99 Oldsmobile. When my grandma died, my uncles gave it to me (1.5 yrs ago). She only drove it to church and back so it's only got like 65k miles on it. It's practically new. BUT the a/c went out and in the Texas heat, that is no bueno. Found out it costs like 1200 to replace! Ouch. I really planned on having this car a few more years so we're gonna replace it, but my wallet will be weeping.
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources)
Since I started whole30, so many splurge meals come to mind lol! I think right now I'd settle for a margarita, some enchiladas, chips + queso, and ice cream for dessert

WAYDTGKU: bbt, clomid, ovidrel, iui
R/R/CS: Today is my 13th wedding anniversary! Unfortunately DH is out of town on business through tomorrow night. In other news, I go for my baseline ultrasound this morning, so hopefully everything looks good to start clomid on cd 5.
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) I can't think of a splurge meal....I've been trying really hard to eat well and lose the weight I gained since July. I do love the queso at Chili's!

R/R/CS: So the follicle on my baseline scan yesterday DID end up being a follicle and not a cyst. So that was great news. Today is DH's birthday, and I'm an ass and totally forgot for the first two hours of the day. I felt like a horrible wife! But when I called him to wish him a HB, he laughed and said he forgot it was his birthday too. Which is totally plausible. So that's good LOL. He did tell me yesterday though that a coworker of his asked if he had "knocked up your wife yet". When DH replied No, his coworker asked what he was waiting for and kind of gave him a hard time. This guy obviously doesn't know we're experiencing infertility and going through treatment, but it still rubbed DH the wrong way. I could tell he was kind of upset about it, but he just brushed it off. Mean while I want to hunt said coworker down and hurt him.
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources)
The greasiest cheeseburger with bacon and bbq sauce and onion straws. With a side of cheese fries topped with bacon and a side of ranch. Now I'm hungry and my nonfat greek yogurt just doesn't look appealing anymore LOL.

WAYDTGKU: Metformin, Clomid + Ovidrel, HIO
R/R/CS: So, I went to my RE yesterday to measure my follicles. I've got 2, primed and ready to go, one on the left and one on the right. I triggered last night, per RE's orders. (I was surprised; I thought I'd have to wait another day or two.) So, I SHOULD O sometime today or tomorrow. ALTHOUGH, last cycle, my AF showed up 5 days late, which makes me think that I had a delayed reaction to the shot. I might use OPK's this time around, and see if I can catch the surge. ***QUESTION**** Does this trigger shot mess with OPK's at all?
Anyway, I'm not quite sure when I'll move over to the TWW yet, because I'm not convinced I'll actually O 24 to 48 hours after the shot. We'll see. I'm just glad we're moving forward. This is our last cycle HIO, before we move onto IUI.
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) oOOo I love me a Five Guys Little Cheeseburger! And their fries! So tasty. Just thinking about it makes me hungry!

@GrabberBlue2010 Every single food you mentioned sounded amazing. I want all of the food. Good job packing lunch and snacks for the day though!
@Squiddly do you prefer 2 pieces or 1 pieces? for 2 piece suits, what about the ones they have now that have like that ruffle that comes down a little bit in the front? They're pretty cute and appear to have a little bit more coverage. Bosses and bathing suits can be tricky.
@hezzer78 Sorry about the car a/c! That really sucks. My H and I lived in Dallas for a few years and the heat is no joke!
@Daisy621 Happy anniversary!! Also, i haven't been on or able to comment for a few days, but sorry about CD 1
@mrsdaddario yay for a growing follicle!!! Also happy birthday to your DH! Sorry about the annoying coworker. I'm fully expecting to hear it from everyone in my office in a few months when my coworkers wife has their baby. It will be baby #3 in the office just in the last year.

R/R/CS: DH is out of town, mom is visiting this week, and I have not told her about the hsg on Thursday. So that will be a fun conversation. "Hey, we're trying to have a baby. Which means yes, we have sex, and my tubes may be blocked or littered with tube debris. And now they're going to flush them so my tubes become like a slip and slide for the sperm, you know the ones whisker regularly ejaculates inside of me, so they can get to the egg. Good times."
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal? (Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources)
When you said splurge I totally thought you meant $$$$. So I was thinking really good sushi or The Melting Pot (I know it's a chain but fondue is soooooo goooooooood).
For decadence I guess maple long johns with cream filling from the local doughnut shop. They're like, 75 cents and 1200 calories. Ooh, or Cinnabon!

@AndiPandi127 - FX that this cycle wont be a bust. Hoping that it will all work out!
@hezzer78 - Chocolate is my BFF and worst enemy. I've got a heavenly angelic piece of chocolate on one shoulder whispering sweet nothing in one ear, then a devilish sinfully delicious piece of chocolate whispering delightful concoctions in the other ear. End result? Chocolate for life. FTW. The volcano is always gone before I know what happened. Thankfully my sister helps me with it. And sorry about your car situation that is no fun.
@Daisy621 - I am totally trying to be good and for the most part I have done a darned good job. So I figure instead of eating all the things, why not just look at all the things Chili's queso is. da. bomb!

Co-worker should have stopped at "no". I am pretty sure when the time comes, everyone will know and there will be no need to ask. Actually, if there is no news, it should be implied that it has not happened yet. Totes go after him

Oh man....I can't just pick one!! Spaghetti and meatballs is a classic that I don't allow myself very often. Maybe once or twice a year. And Korean BBQ is my favorite food ever and since it's pretty pricey, it's a splurge.

R/R/CS: Feeling slightly annoyed. Tried my first OPK Sunday, pretty faint but was expected. Then yesterday it darkened up a lot, like almost positive looking and I was thinking sweet this would line up with a CD 17 O date which is my average-ish. Then today it's even lighter than Sunday... But temp is still low, and I've never O'd this early. Idk, I'm going to keep HIO and assume that the surge has not happened yet because it just seems unlikely to me. I really want good timing so I hope it didn't happen yet! I'm feeling pretty BSC at this point about making everything perfect this cycle, and I'm like I wish I was in the TWW already! But I know I'll be just as crazy over there, so might as well enjoy my time here!
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?
Ooooh gees. So many things. Always mac and cheese, it's just something I would eat any day any time any where. But we have had some excellent date nights at nicer restaurants in the past year when we really want to splurge and it is just such a difference having a real chef compared to a chain restaurant! We went to a nice italian restaurant for Valentine's day this year and holyyyyy crap! I've never tasted food so delicious! I even like H's potatoes and I hate potatoes! Now I'm hungry...

R/R/CS: Currently in a two-hour harassment prevention workshop (via Skype). I kind of think that maybe the training is because of me. Not because I did anything wrong but because I mentioned something that a manager who used to work here did that was really piss-poor decision-making that put the company at some amount of risk. Oops. Sorry everybody. (Then again, it's something that companies should be doing if just for the CYA file so...)
GTKY: I'll go with full splurge, including financial, king crab legs. Allll day long. For a more realistic one? Buffalo Wild Wings. It's so bad but it's so good!

My husband learned to cook from his Sicilian grandma and he makes a lasagna that is seriously out of this world. I haven't asked him to make it for me since he became lactose intolerant (who knew that could happen in your mid twenties without warning??) because that seems so cruel.

WAYDTGKU: Peeing on sticks and getting it on ALL WEEK!
R/R/CS: OPK is still light after being really, really dark on CD 9. I knew I shouldn't have started peeing on them yet. I never O that early and I'm sure it was a random occurrence but now I'm all like, WTF IS GOING ON?! We've HIO pretty much every day since AF ended though, so even if I did O we are still in the game. I'm looking forward to temping next month so I know what is happening inside my ovaries.
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) Oh you guys. When I splurge, I SPLURGE. If I could have an evening of eating whatever the heck I wanted, I would probably start with some appetizers and drinks at happy hour, devour my main meal at an Indian buffet, eat my weight in butter garlic naan, chicken pakoras, and chicken tikka masala, and finish my splurge at Coldstone with a Birthday Cake Remix. YOLO.

WAYDTGKU: ovulation tests and bd every other day this week (I think thats the right term, these terms are a lot to remember!)
R/R/CS: My ovia app says that I'm in my fertile window this week so we've been doing the deed every other day (did it last night) and I THINK I got a +opk this morning but it's so hard to tell on these things!!
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources) pizza, ice cream, reese cups...anything really.
@Schumerator You may have just had a quick surge and caught the rising or the tail end of it, so tentatively call it a positive. But it could also mean it wasn't strong enough and you didn't O. Watch your temps to see what they do, but HIO!

I just worked (OUT OF BOLD????) 3 days in a row and I'm exhausted but my dog won't let me sleep in I also should go work out and swim laps after, but I want to lay around and play on my phone since I didn't get to the past 3 days. But, worst of all I have WORK stuff to do here at home! And it's going to take several days to complete and I'm so whiney about it .. I should do that instead of work out for timing reasons .. maybe also mental peace reasons..
GTKY: What is your favorite splurge meal?(Could consist of one food, or come from multiple sources)
I make Garlic Pasta - penne, olive oil, minced garlic gloves, red pepper, pine nuts, parsley, and oh. Like the most "6 Italian Shredded Cheese" in the pot ever. I just dump the bag in. So cheesy. And it is DELICIOUS! Not too awesome for my blood sugar, but, I say I have to figure out how to take insulin for it and therefore need to keep making it for science. Also add a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon in and I'm set. Happy wife!
